Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow), Verse 173

اِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَیْكُمُ الْمَیْتَةَ وَالدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ الْخِنْزِیْرِ وَمَاۤ اُهِلَّ بِهٖ لِغَیْرِ اللّٰهِ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَیْرَ بَاغٍ وَّلَا عَادٍ فَلَاۤ اِثْمَ عَلَیْهِ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟

Innamaa harrama 'alaikumul maitata waddama wa lahmal khinzeeri wa maaa uhilla bihee lighairil laahi famanid turra ghaira baaghinw wa laa 'aadin falaaa isma 'alaih; innal laaha Ghafoorur Raheem

He hath only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that on which any other name hath been invoked besides that of Allah. But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- then is he guiltless. For Allah is Oft-forgiving Most Merciful.
